Police said the victim is receiving treatment at a hospital in Hachinohe City and that his condition is serious but stable. The victim told police he did not know Sasaki.

Police said the victim is receiving treatment at a hospital in Hachinohe City and that his condition is serious but stable.

Extremely fortunate the victim is stable even after being repeatedly stabbed, for all the damage a deranged person can do, it seems only having access to a poor weapon is still a huge advantage for the victim.

after stabbing a male office worker

so this says suspect but already had said he stabbed him. Which is it? Suspect or already convicted?
